2023 Summer Scholars in Engineering

Each year, the Tufts Summer Scholars program funds rising juniors and seniors from across disciplines to pursue ten-week independent undergraduate research projects. Students within the program work with a mentor to prepare their work for a poster session in the fall. The program is administered by the Office of Scholar Development. A list of 2023 summer scholars who are majoring in the School of Engineering is provided below. Congratulations to all of this year's scholars!

Department of Biomedical Engineering
Audrey Dutcher, E25, will work with Research Assistant Professor Giulia Guidetti to investigate Lepidoptera scales for bioinspired energy management systems.

Meg Radke, E24, will work with Stern Family Professor David Kaplan to study three dimensional silk vinyl sulfone-based hydrogel scaffolds for modeling the effects of tissue degradability and dynamic mechanics on cancer migration.

Sanjana Vissapragada, E24, will work with postdoctoral fellow Atul Sharma (Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering) to explore biomaterials for achieving tunable profiles for a wide range of therapeutics.
